Tikex.com is a modern ticketing platform built to help event organizers launch events, sell tickets, manage attendees, and operate more efficiently. Our goal is to make ticketing simpler, safer, and more transparent for both organizers and attendees. We are now developing the next stage of the platform: an organizer-controlled secondary marketplace where ticket holders can safely transfer or resell tickets without relying on informal social media groups or unverified marketplaces. We are exploring technologies such as smart contracts and tokenized tickets while keeping the customer experience simple and accessible. Organizers should be able to define resale rules, limit prices, prevent duplicate or fraudulent tickets, and maintain a direct relationship with the current ticket holder. Tikex is currently an early-stage, founder-led company working with its first event partners. We value practical experimentation, direct customer feedback, ownership, and simple solutions to real industry problems. New team members have the opportunity to shape both the product and the business from an early stage.

Our technology is live inside large enterprises, including a leading European bank scaling a deployment from hundreds to thousands of seats.
